How is MeerKAT Different from Current Radio Interferometers?

Question:
how meerkat is different from current telescopes (interferometers).and what makes it special?what science it can do which current interferometers fail to do?
Answer:
MeerKAT is a radio telescope interferometer located in South Africa which is comprised of 64 13.5m antennas that conduct astronomical interferometric measurements at frequencies from 0.58 to 14.5 GHz. In many ways MeerKAT is similar to the NRAO Very Large Array in its science focus and capabilities, but allowing easier access to objects which are observable only from the southern hemisphere. MeerKAT will ultimately be one part of a much larger radio telescope observatory called the Square Kilometer Array (SKA).
